"The U.S. Has Already Completed Regime Change In Syria (1949), Iran (1953), Iraq (Twice), Afghanistan (Twice), Turkey, Libya and Other Oil-Rich Countries Posted onSeptember 17, 2014byWashingtonsBlogSyriaEveryone knows that the U.S. and its allies have heavily backed Islamic terrorists in Syria in an attempt to implement regime change in that country.But did you know that the U.S. previously carried out regime change in Syria?

The CIA backed a right-wing coup in Syria in 1949. Douglas Little, Professor, Department of Clark University History professor Douglas Little notes:As early as 1949, this newly independent Arab republic was an important staging ground for the CIA’s earliest experiments in covert action.The CIA secretly encouraged a right-wing military coup in 1949.

The reason the U.S. initiated the coup? Little explains: In late 1945, the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO) announced plans to construct the Trans-Arabian Pipe Line (TAPLINE) from Saudi Arabia to the Mediterra- nean. With U.S. help, ARAMCO secured rights-of-way from Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The Syrian right-of-way was stalled in parliament.In other words, Syria was the sole holdout for the lucrative oil pipeline.(Indeed, the CIA has carried out this type of covert action right from the start.)

“The best way to help Israel… is to help the people of Syria overthrow the regime of Bashar Assad"- on Nov. 30, 2015 Hillary Clinton states her reason to help armed groups to overthrow democratically elected president of Syria Bashar Assad.Don’t Call Him “Bernie” Anymore: the Sanders Sell-Out and the Clinton Wars to Comeby GARY LEUPPThe worst disservice Sanders has done to his supporters, other than to lead them on a wild goose chase for real change, is to virtually ignore his rival’s vaunted “experience.” He need not have mentioned Hillary Clinton’s Senate record, since there was nothing there; her stint as law-maker was merely intended to position her for a run for the presidency, according to the family plan. But there was a lot in her record as Secretary of State.As she recounts in her memoir, she wanted a heftier “surge” in Afghanistan than Obama was prepared to order. Anyone paying attention knows that the entire military mission in that broken country has been a dismal failure producing blow-back on a mind-boggling scale, even as the Taliban has become stronger, and controls more territory, than at any time since its toppling in 2001-2002.Hillary wanted to impose regime change on Syria in 2011, by stepping up assistance to armed groups whom (again) anyone paying attention knows are in cahoots with al-Nusra (which is to say, al-Qaeda). In an email dated Nov. 30, 2015, she states her reason: “The best way to help Israel…is to help the people of Syria overthrow the regime of Bashar Assad.”In her memoir she criticizes Obama for not doing more to oust the secular Assad regime. She has repeatedly stated during her campaign that she favors a no-fly zone over Syria, like the one she advocated for Libya. That means conflict with Russia, which is bombing sites in Syria, with the permission of its internationally recognized government, under what Russia’s leaders (and many rational people) consider to be terrorists’ control.

DAVID A. GRAHAM. "Soon after coming to power, the Bolsheviks printed the text in Pravda—not the last time the Russians would play spoiler to Western efforts to control events in Syria and Iraq.​Monday marks the 100 years since the signing of the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the secret Anglo-French pact reached during the First World War that proposed splitting the Middle East up into zones of foreign control. The Middle East has been frequently afflicted with war since then, but the situation now—with ISIS holding territory in Iraq and across the Fertile Crescent, civil war in Syria, government paralysis in Lebanon, growing autocracy and violence in Turkey, and talk of an intifada in Israel and the occupied territories—has inspired particular debate on the century-old agreement’s legacy. Laments about Sykes-Picot drewarbitrary divisions that bedevil the Middle East even now have met with just-as-impassioned insistence that the secret agreement’s influence is overstated.

But wait a second: secret agreement? How did a confidential document become a hotly contested matter of the public record not long after it was signed? The answer is a tale of intrigue that serves as a reminder of how unstable closed-door diplomacy is, and how fast quiet handshakes can cause public backlash, even in the age before Wikileaks.

Footage taken by a Russia Works drone in Homs, Syria gives a chilling insight into the state of the country after four years of civil war. Almost every building in the center of the city has been destroyed, with rubble littering the near-empty streets. Homs was dubbed the "capital of the revolution" when war broke out in 2011, but has since been captured by forces sympathetic to the Assad regime.New drone footage reveals the Syrian city of Kobani in ruins after years of heavy fighting.

The Pentagon and State Department, echoed as usual by the mainstream press, have expressed “concern” about Russian deliveries of the most modern tanks, fighter aircraft, surface-to-air missiles and other military equipment to Syria. They call them “counterproductive,” although it’s not clear what sort of productive cause they counter.They say these shipments—which they’ve tried to thwart by instructing NATO allies to deny delivery flights through their airspace—are likely “to prolong the war” in that tragically suffering country. Cable news anchors, with furrowed brows and glaring eyes, warn their viewers that Moscow’s stepped-up support for the Assad regime is a “worrisome development.”Moscow responds blandly that Russia (and the Soviet Union before it) have been allied to the Syrian government since the 1950s, when (like the U.S., actually) it saw the secular Baathists as a preferable alternative to Islamist throughout the region. Russia has been Syria’s main arms supplier for decades, and is (according to RT television) currently filling contracts with Damascus signed years ago.(Moscow might add that it has maintained a naval base at Tartus on the Syrian coast since 1971, and an airbase at Latakia. These are among Russia’s foreign military basis, which you can count on one hand. The U.S. in contrast has, as you know, well over 700 military bases in over 135 countries where around 300,000 U.S. troops are stationed.)The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly urged the establishment of an international coalition to fight ISIL, which seems rational enough on the face of it. While it has not yet killed as many people as George W. Bush did, this well funded, growing organization, rapidly evolving into a viable state, is as manifestly cruel as the former U.S. president and his cabinet of amoral neocons hell-bent on imposing their own sort of caliphate on Southwest Asia. It is surely evil.​

http://econ.st/1XrToqV The game is in the process: Russia, USA and China! From Russia with love... No cloths, no chips, but very nice magic glasses :-) Putin is a hero, legend, fighter against terrorists! Obama's done! No kidding! There is more going on here than most know or that meets the eye - it is quite significant in the days and years to come. We're living not in a boring period.

This picture is amazing. The shirtless horseback ridding Putin was due to come back soon. Play the game! Russia despite all the economic odds have lowered its external debt which is significant. To survive in this world strategy is most important than fast wins. Russia and China are teaming up. We are witnessing the most significant shift in power relations since the end of the cold war.

The new game - American dominance is being challenged.War deals, however, there are signs of collapse. New Cold War. Gaining legitimacy in a power structure without rules seems a difficult endeavor. This analysis of the U.S. wanting to establish rules vs. Russia wanting to capitalize states a solid case. How will legitimacy be evaluated from these two perspectives? It seems to be the bigger question. The world is getting very complicated. We need STATESMEN.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister Adel Al-Jubeir (left) in New York with US secretary of state John Kerry. Photograph: Craig Ruttle/APSaudi Arabia: Assad cannot stay in powerThis post was originally published on this site.GuardianSaudi Arabia (world's pre-eminent beheaders) has called on Bashar al-Assad to give up power or be removed by force. The threat was made on Tuesday by Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Adel Al-Jubeir. “There is no future for Assad in Syria,” Jubeir told journalists at the UN general assembly. “There are two options for a settlement in Syria. One option is a political process where there would be a transitional council. The other option is a military option, which also would end with the removal of Bashar al-Assad from power. This could be a more lengthy process and a more destructive process but the choice is entirely that of Bashar al-Assad.” The foreign minister did not specify how Assad would be forcibly removed, but pointed out that Saudi Arabia is already backing “moderate rebels” in the civil war.

COMMENTS of people from the discussion on Facebook about this article:'In a slightly less imperfect world there'd be no future for the House of Saud utterly corrupt monarchy! Is Syria attacking the United States? What is the real reason the United States is involved in this ? What would the United States government do if another nation injected itself into US national government ? I am very confused by all this aggressive behavior on behalf of my government. We are funding fundamentalist Islamists. Why? At least Russia is a long standing ally of Syria, does it not make sense that they would assist Assad? This is all too confusing to me and makes no sense at all. Why do ISIS militants have so much US weaponry? Don't you think that these questions should be answered at least at a basic level? Are these reasonable questions?'- Frank Pastuck:"And we listen to them for what reason again? Oil is an all time low..." - Bill Franklin:"In with the Israel? Maybe PUTIN WILL KICK BOTH THEIR ASSESS".
